T0 all whom 'il muy concern:` Y l Be it known that lf, @interns Hf Commun, a el L oi the United Se Les oi smeris-a, residing at Holyoke in the eountj\.VV oi riampdeirand Siate oi M sai-husfc-tts have invented a new and'useiul Bed, of Wnich the iol-4 My inventiori relates to iinprovenients inl beds, and consists oi a. rotatable spring-supported frame inounted on a pedestal and provided with spriiig-supported siderails, togethernwith cer-tain au'xiliaryand subsidiary parts, all as hereinafter set forth. i

The objects of my invention are, irstf-to produce an easy, eoinl'or tahle and coniparatively Vineitpensive bed; second, to provide a hed i ith which spring-mattress is required; third, to lurnishfi'locki g Vandadj-usting means for such a bed, and,`l`ourt"h, provide a; siinple, lconvenient, praotiea'ble and eticient hed vll'iich oinhodies the requisite advantages pertaining toa bed of the class above indicated. p l attain these objects bythe means illustrated in theV aecoinpauyingv drawings, in` whichvvi f Figure is a plan view my bed, eel tain parts being broken away to disc-losehiddon inernbers; Fig. 2. a een tral longitudinal vertiealfseetion ofsaid bed, Certain parts being broken out oi members which showin elevationxto better illustrate the ronstruotion, and, Fig. 3, `an enlarged seetio nal detail of one or' the spring-supporting appliances for the side-rails.

Similar figures refer to similar parts throughout tho' several views, I i- Referring to the drawings, Whiifh illustrate a practical embodiment oi my invention, although. it is Clearly Iber and arrangement ol' some of the parts and even in niinor points of Construction may be inade without do parting troni the nature of said invention. il will be ob- I served that I. lirst provide a pedestal .l ot' suitable forni. l The legs 2 ol the pedestal, oi which there` should be l'our s t'upon glass eas-ters or glass `t'eet J3. A disk 4, ravingperipheral teeth 5, is fasti-ned on top o1' thc pedestal l by means of wooden pins G or otlnawvis'eA A central pin 7 projects l above the top ol' the disk 4 lo serve as a. pivot.t'or a plat said pin 'or pivot being covered with a glass cap 9 l n adjaizent faces oi the disk 4 and platform 8 are ball-rares for glass bearingd'irectly and niay b e freely revolved about its pivot 7.' i* A To steady the platform S and the superimposed ineinbers presently to be described, said platform is provided' with two or more lugs ll whirh extend dtuvnward trom the edge oi the platform, past the serrated edge oi the disk l and then turn inward to engage the undo de oi said disk. l

As a means of looking, releasir g and rotating the platform 8 and supported part rovide an arm 12,pi,vot

and prevented troni rotating thereon, but by simply raising said arm suiiieiently'to disengage the'ldog from the teeth and using the arm as a handle the platform 'can be easily rotated as much or little as desned and then relocked by relasing the arm and taking care that 'the dog again interlooks Withthe teeth. This arrange ment for releasing, revolving and confining the plat- 0r`1n is particularly desirable when it is` desired to po-l sitionthe bed due north and south, regardless oi the Way in which the pedestal l happens to stand. |it is believed to be advantageous to have any bed placed with its foot to the north and its head to the south, and Gspwially solor a bod ot' this description.

An X-suppo` fi is l'astdned by pins l? or otherwise to the top ol' they platform S, and has at each end a glass receiver 18 lor' the base ol' a spiral spring ll). The ionr springs lli, at the ends oi the Xsnppot 16, afford. a

` yielding support lor a rectangular irarne which h s VVcorner pieces 2l provided with glass receivers i8 to reston said springs. At one end or what may properly be termed the loot of the trarne 20 is a bracket 22 lor a compass 23, by the aid of which latter the bed can. be

. at the ends and a third spiral. spring 28 in the iniddlo` this middle spring being stronger but shorter than the others. Each pocket 26 may have a lining 29 ol rubber or other suitable material, and glass keepersSO in the bottom for the springs 27 and 28. Side railsfl F31 are Vsupported by the springs 2'(V and, when an unusual Weight is placed upon the bed, by theauxiliarysprings 28 in the ledges 24.24, said rails being free to play up and dwn between the guides 25 and the side pieces of. the frame 20. The side rails 3l do not `rest directly upon the springs below, buthave bearing blocks 32,

on their under lsides, adapted to enter the pockets 2G and so assist in guiding said rails in their movement and provided with glass receivers, one ot' which is shown at 33 in Fig'A 3, for said springs. One ol these receivers 83 niay be substituted for the keepers 30 in the bottom of each pocket 26, if desired. v

Shortglass ribs 311 are inserted in theside .rails 3l ai; the pr/oper distances apart 'to serve as guides for the ends of as many slats 35 as may be required, Glass pins 36, having their outer projecting ends rounded,

may be inserted in the ends of the slats 85 to come between such ends and the side pie-c s of the frame 20.

An -ii":iinary filled mattress (not shown) is placed directly on lie slats 35, no spring mattress `being required Sinne the springs 19 and 27 afford sufficient resiliency', aided by the auxiliary springs 28 in the case of an unusually heavy occupant whose weight forces the repeivers 33, under the sidelrails, down onto said auxiliary spring.. v

It to be understood that the members herrin referred to as being of glass may be made oi any other materi that will suit my purpose. Usually the springs .vriii lie die only metal used iu the consiruetion of the bed, the other members being made oi wood and oi' such other materials are herein mentioned. The' 1'.
